GQG -4.36%: delivered a respectable 1H26 result in the face of significant fund outflows, with earnings proving more resilient than the headline FUM movements would suggest. Read moreFortescue (ASX: FMG) $17.96
FMG -0.61%: delivered a broadly solid FY26 result, with revenue, free cash flow and the balance sheet all coming in well, although EBITDA and NPAT were a little light versus some broker expectations.

Amcor delivered a better-than-expected fourth quarter last week, with both revenue and earnings ahead of consensus and, importantly, early evidence that the Berry Global acquisition is beginning to deliver. Net sales came in at US$6.4bn, adjusted earnings per share (EPS) rose 23% to US$1.23, and the quarterly dividend was lifted 2% to US65c. The most encouraging part of the result was volumes, with modest growth returning across Amcor’s six core segments, with the momentum carrying into July after several years of destocking and subdued demand. Read moreBHP Group (ASX:BHP) $63.85
BHP +2.65%: delivered a strong FY26 result, with underlying profit, EBITDA and revenue all ahead of expectations, while the dividend was another clear positive.

AMC -0.09%: delivered a better-than-expected fourth quarter, with revenue and earnings both ahead of expectations and encouraging signs that the benefits from the Berry Global acquisition are beginning to come through.
